Which 5*s are GENERIC AWAKENING GEM worthy? (include those that don't need an awakening to be good)

Please add or subtract from my list as you see fit

Me thinks:
Blade
Stark Spidey
Magik
Star Lord
Medusa
Hyperion
Gwenpool
Doc Voodoo
Dormammu
Mephisto
MorningStar
Arch Angel
Iceman
Ghost Rider
MODOK

Did I miss anyone or included anyone that's not "worthy"?

5* generic awakening gems are so hard to come by that I have to disagree with more than half of the list. A generic worthy character should be able to get you through most of the content of the game, and I don't see a mephisto or a modok getting you through any of the end game content of the game. Maybe a class specific awakening gem, but even a mystic gem to mephisto is questionable.

Stark is not worth one neither is Hyperion

Rasilover

IMO only AA magik star lord and blade are worth it.

Griffoplay

Generic?
AA or gweenpool for the reduce accurancy. I prefer AA over gweenpool. maybe voodoo too.
Star Lord for sure above all other tech.

Have you played sparky both duped and unduped? I would spend a generic on him in a heartbeat (Got him 5* r5 and awakened with a tech gem)

Blade, Magik, Voodoo, AA, Gwenpool, Ghost and maybe Medusa. You better give the generic to someone you would take to rank 5/65.

Imo only:
Blade
Star Lord
Medusa
Doc Voodoo
Archangel

I have a generic and unduped Iceman, but he's not worth it imo.

Magik and Dormammu only for defense, but even then it's iffy. WIth all the Blade's popping up, they are losing relevance in the AW meta. I would just wait for a Mystic gem or a dupe.

Primmer79

Depends on need. but:

Blade
Voodoo
AA
GP

Tech gem, yes.

Generic, not in my opinion.

I used my generic on ghost rider even though he doesn't really need to be awakened. I don't care I used it on him anyways and took him to rank 5, if you have a god tier 5 star champ, awaken and max out in my opinion.. awakening gems are meant to be used not saved. there will be other opportunities in the future to acquire more awakening gems either through in game offers or content. point of the game is to have fun.

Newtothegame1

Blade,star lord,Medusa,AA and iceman are the only ones. GP,GR,Stark ,hype don’t need them to be good. Voodoo class specific awakening gem only.

RagamugginGunner

Blade
AA
SL
Starky
GR
Magik

In that order.

Blade, AA & that’s it...

Voodoo wait for class or dupe.

Magik nope don’t use a gem for defenders. She doesn’t need to be awakened for offensive abilities.

Gp maybe a class but her ability reducing is horrible needing 50+ hits.

Star lord only if you have none of LoL done. Otherwise just a class gem.

Ghostrider nope

Starky maybe but probably just stick to a class or wait for the dupe

Hypes doesn’t need it. Maybe a class but the class would be better used on medusa.

Iceman nope he only needs to be awakened if you are using him for defenders.

There is two generic 5* awakening gems in the game. May not see another one till act 6 sometime. Best to use it wisely.

I would give up my 5* awoke SL to keep my Hulk if that's what I needed to do. I don't much care for LoL, it's a bit ridiculous i can think of better things to do than 15+ minute fights with random evasions. I'm all set with random evasions. Hulk clears entire paths of Uncollected and can proceed to smack the spit out of the boss. He smacks war bosses. Yeah Fury and MD, well he pours in ridiculous amounts of damage before that ends the fight and if you do die, you use one of those cheap little revives and your cheapest heal boom, your back in action with 2500 attack power, 1000 more when he gets Fury, and up to 4k more from his signature, oh and that class advantage towards Mystics that's like 40%+ I think.

Oh. Oh. He's also got 30k+ health I think closer to 35k, so yeah, i don't have to come on the forums to cry when I meet an Iceman in event mode.

No. Maybe a science gem, definitely not a generic on Hulk. Sounds like you’ve convinced yourself, but don’t confuse others. Hulk is poison immune and can put out some good damage with good stun. That’s it. I use 4* for AQ and like him, but he’s not generic worthy.

SteelCurtainMUT

Blade, AA, DV, GP, GR & Sparky (I maybe missing 1 just at the top of my head) are the only ones I’d use them on. Starlord too if you haven’t completed LOL, they’re the rarest item in the game. Can’t be careless with them. Been sitting on my LOL for about a year now cause I wanna be 100% certain I wanna use it on a great champ.

Gotta make that Cyclops effective

Deadbyrd9

I wouldn’t just say blade and AA. I have 2 generic gems and my AA is already awakened. I’m saving it for potentially ghost rider or a new champ that comes out. It really depends on the class gems you have. If someone has several skill gems then blade wouldn’t be an option for that player

Going off the base that any champ is an option, not already awakened and no other awakening gem class wise. Then yes for the two available basic 5* ag in the game I’d only use them on blade and aa. Other circumstances could change that easily.

Look any god tier / demi champ is generic worthy. Only a fool would sit on a generic waiting to pull an AA or Blade. Statistically, some people will never pull AA or Blade. Ever in their life. So suffer with a poor roster while you have a generic gem. And why is AA so worthy when he is so situational i don't get it. And what will you do when all of the new defenders are anti-Blade? I know what I'll do. I'll pull out the green monster and SMASH. I bring R4 Magik and R5 Hulk to war. Magik bosses they just don't stand a chance. Magik on immunity node? Hulk Smash. Magik then typically does better against Magik boss, but Hulk carries a high amount of guarenteed damage with little health necessary. He's great everywhere short of LoL.

I assume you’re going off seatin’s god/demigod tier list? If so, that’s a ton of champs you would burn a basic on, and I disagree with that. I didn’t say AA or Blade, that was someone else. Personally, I used my first on spark and ranked him to r5. He will carry me through LOL and allow me to access the 2nd generic. People have different ways of playing, but I think you’re undervaluing a generic gem. Glad you like Hulk, but he’s just not considered one of the best by many that have better options.

Most people are getting around 1 5* a month and it could be a year or two before they get a 5* you would consider awakening so it just depends on the situation.

People that have access to a generic awakening gem get 5 stars way more frequently than that.

Not seeing much about void in here. Not worth generic?

This is from January, only 2 weeks after void release.

Ask yourself, will you take this champ to r5 ? If you will, it's worth it.
